Best Bets To This Weekend According To Vegas InsiderSports Illustrated

Wilson said the Roadrunners (3-2, 0-2) are eager to get back on the winning track against the Owls (1-5, 1-1) in an important Conference USA game. Hence the meeting.

Players have been off-limit to the media this week.

"(The players) confided in one another in the things they need to do individually and collectively," said Wilson, who got testy with reporters following Tuesday's practice. "They want to concentrate on this opponent. I want them to do that. It was one of the things I agreed on."

Wilson said the focus in practice has been on finishing games.

"We have guys that are engaged with opponents but they stop pursuing and stop a step or two early," he said. "We need to be able to play through the whistle."
